Not a good decision here.

Literally every single day we have idiots doing Musk’s PR work for free.

Downvote Musk spam. The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring his businesses stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

If you’re dumb enough to trust Musk with that info I’ll have no sympathy for you when it inevitably gets hacked.

twitter doesn’t actually store the id, only the result of verification (just like… roblox? for some reason);
they’re using a 3rd party that partners with govts, specializes on id verification and only stores data for 30 days. (still, I would never trust them…)

So a lot of crypto exchanges (all?) require this type of verification. I assume the next thing is turning this into a payment app using crypto. That sounds very musky.

X? Oh, you mean Twitter?
